For some reason, Prince Allus was banished from his own father King Gorn's castle. Luckily, he and the Light Warriors were able to make it inside anyway, and sleep together in a room for the knight.

Allus is worried about his father's behavior, but the boys try to cheer him up, and then they continue sleeping.

Then King Gorn appears and tries to stab his own son. Following behind him is Gigames, who rushes the King to kill Allus already.

The King was under Gigames' spell, and used the oppotunity to break himself out of it: By stabbing himself. This had angered Gigames, as he now plans to kill the King and his Prince. Well, not if the Light Warriors have anything to say about it.

Gigames then transforms into Garuda, and becomes, so far, the hardest damn boss in the game. He has a Thunder attack that he always uses on the entire team for massive damage.

It was alluded before that only Dragoons could defeat Garuda, so I went with that. Maybe if I grinded a bit more, I wouldn't even have to use one Fenix/Phoenix Down just to keep my whole party alive until the end. All in all, in this case, just spam Jump for that high-damaging Dragoon Drop!

After killing the monster, King Gorn is grateful to see his son again, and asks for his forgiveness. Allus does, and Gorn's final wish to him is to be the new King of Samonia. He then succumbs to his own stab wound and dies.

What a twist. This time, it's not the character who follows you that dies, but his relative. It's still sad, though. The Prince then leaves the party to carry out his father's wish.

I really, REALLY hate Garuda, now.
